hey there lillith, it's anita. i had a couple of odd periods, with
noticable breakthru bleeding all during the second month. i will say
that it took a couple of months to normalize. but i was so out of
whack, that it's much better now. the only caveat i can see is a little
bit of mood swings. but that's par for the thyroid thing i have, and
it's not very serious. i really noticed a positive change in the fourth
month, so if you could try and hang in? good luck. anita
